Silurus longibarbatus, new species, is described from the Pearl River drainage in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. The new species is distinguished from all congeners by having three pairs of relatively long barbels, by the number of vertebrae, dorsal- and anal-fin rays, head length, pectoral-fin spine with smooth anterior and serrated posterior margins, vomerine teeth patches in continuous band, and a lateral line visible as a series of short whitish horizontal lines.
